With the game knotted up at 94-94, Evans drove across the lane from the right
wing and was tripped by Nene, throwing up a wild shot to draw the foul. Evans
then buried the first free throw before bricking the second and leaving the
Wizards with a chance to win the game with just over 10 ticks remaining.

After corralling the miss, Washington called a timeout to advance the ball
past midcourt. The Wizards threw it in to Bradley Beal, who missed a jumper
with 2.9 seconds left.

John Wall, however, grabbed the rebound and fired up a desperation shot that
drew iron as time expired and the Kings held on for their second consecutive
win.

Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and John Salmons each scored 21 points in the win.
Cousins also had 16 rebounds, five assists and three steals.

"We definitely made some big plays down the stretch," Cousins said. "It was a
good effort, a great team effort. I am happy"

Beal led all scorers with a career-high 26 points while setting a Wizards
rookie record for 3-pointers made in a game by going 6-for-7 from beyond the
arc.

"We didn't put them away," Beal said. "We were up by 10 at a point, we never
stepped on their throats. We let them win this game."

Kevin Seraphin added 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Nene finished with 15
points, nine boards and six assists for the Wizards, who had a season-high
three-game winning streak snapped.

Sacramento outscored Washington, 12-7, over the first 5:20 of the fourth to
tie the game at 84-84. The Wizards, though, used a small 7-4 burst, capped
with Nene's 3-point play to go up 91-86 with just over four minutes remaining.

Cousins scored the next five points of the game, including a 3-point play with
1:48 to go, to knot things up at 91-91, but Martell Webster drilled a 25-foot
trey 20 seconds later to give Washington a 94-91 advantage.

Salmons, though, responded with a 3-ball of his own on the Kings' next trip to
knot things up once again.

Wall bricked a pair of free throws with just over 30 ticks before Evans' free
throw accounted for the final margin.

Sacramento led 32-31 after the first 12 minutes, but the Wizards outscored
Sacramento, 25-16, in the second to take a 56-48 lead into the break.

The Kings were able to cut the deficit to 77-72 entering the final frame.
Salmons scored seven points in the quarter on 3-of-6 shooting from the field
and Jimmer Fredette tallied eight points after canning a pair of threes.
